<p>if you were angry about sirius dying… well… you’d better not read the last one ;)</p>
<p>I’m not really a fan of the movies. movies always ruin books. i just heard they are making a movie out of Ender’s Game, which is my favorite book of all time, and now i’m really angry. They’re just gonna screw it up! grrrr…</p>
<p>that makes me feel good that there are so many Pton hopefeuls who have similar taste…and we all might endup in Pton.</p>
<p>I was thinking of putting Wedding Crashers down as my favorite movie. While I am not a big fan of South Asian movies, there is one Bollywood movie that I really liked. So I am gonna put down one of these.</p>
<p>I don’t get time to watch TV, Lost is the only show I watch, and I love it.</p>
<p>I love HP, read most of the books the day they come out. Loved the last one (that’s what I am putting for my favorite book). However, I am not obssesed about it. Don’t have any posters, DVDs, costumes or any of that jazz.</p>
<p>I don’t get much time to watch TV, either, but I generally watch stuff on the WB – Will & Grace, Gilmore Girls, Everwood… I also used to really like the reruns of Doogie Howser, MD when I was a kid. I discovered a couple of months ago that the title character graduated from Princeton at 14. :D</p>
<p>Anyone read Illusion by Paula Volsky? It’s really good – an interesting combination of sci-fi/fantasy and political commentary/historical commentary… reminiscent of the Russian Revolution.</p>
<p>I am reading Life of Pi by Yann Marterl right now. It’s an amazing book.</p>
<p>Has anyone else read it?</p>
<p>oooo frozen-tears that sounds like exactly the type of book i would like. i’ll have to check it out :)</p>
<p>My favorite book would probably be The Sum of All Fears by Tom Clancy - I thought the technical descriptions, accurate or not, were awesome (and no, I’m not planning to build a thermonuclear weapon). HP would be a close second - maybe if I get into Princeton I’ll be able to make real Quidditch a reality.</p>
<p>was the book better than the movie? cause i rather liked the movie…espeically the aria close to the end…so maybe i’ll really like the book.</p>
<p>I’m actually a huge Gilmore Girls fan. I’m not exactly the show’s target audience, so it’s funny when people at school are like “YOU watch that show?” But come on, it’s quality television! Kirk and Lulu! Lorelai and Luke! That’s just good stuff.</p>
<p>Personally, I liked the book (if you’re speaking of Clancy’s tome), but I haven’t had a chance to see the movie. Maybe I should before I put it on my Princeton app; we’ve all heard the story of the guy who claimed to read Newsweek and got owned on a question about the magazine ;)</p>
<p>This ED thread is becoming a Comic Movie Thread :D</p>

</p>
<p>I read it over the summer as one of my school’s required summer reading book. I really like it. The story is just extraordinary,the language is so cleverly humorous and touching.The only good book I have read this summer. </p>
<p>Has anyone every seen the movie “12 Monkeys”, I think it’s one of the best sci-fi ever, the only time travelling movie that is just perfectly logical.</p>
<p>I’ve been meaning to read The Life of Pi.</p>
<p>Has anyone read any Flannery O’Connor? I think she’s hilarious.</p>
<p>flannery o’connor as in “everything that risees must converge,” flannery o’connor?</p>
<p>Yeah, pretty much my favorite short story.</p>
<p>bumpitty bump bump</p>
<p>what essay questions are you guys thinking to write on? how far along are you on your application? which application are you filling?</p>
<p>I am filling Common App. I have filled out my personal info so far. I have also given one of the teachers the rec form.</p>
<p>I hope to start working on my essays next weekend.</p>
<p>I am doing the common app as well. I’ve done all the essays…though revisions remain to be done later… right now I’m concentrating on SAT… with the occasional breaks to do…THIS.</p>
<p>which two essays did you pick?</p>
<p>I’m assuming you’re asking about the princeton supplement. I did my own topic for the long essay on the common app. I chose #1 and #4. The Service one and the influential person one.</p>
<p>OMG I love Ender’s Game. I don’t have problems with movies though… Harry Potter movies yea… they do tend to ruin the book, but something like Hitchhiker’s Guide to Galaxy… that movie was pretty darn good.</p>
